SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 356,855, dated February1, 1887,

Application filed May 12, 1886. Serial No. 201,925. {No model.)

have invented certain new and useful lm provements in UprightKitchen-Cabinets; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full,clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable othersskilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to lriteheueabinets; and its object is to provide asimple and improved device of this class which shall possess advantagesin point of simplicity, inexpensiveness, and general efficiency, andwhich will, furthermore. possess other advantages in point ofconstruction and convenient arrange ment.

\Vith these objects in view the invention consists in the improvedconstruction and de tailed arrangement of parts, hereinafter fullydescribed and claimed.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view illustrating myimprovedcabinet. Fig. 2 is a transverse section of the cabinet with the doorsclosed. Fig. 3 is a transverse section taken through the cabinet at theopposite end to that of Fig. 2. Fig. 4. is a front elevation truth thedoors closed, and Fig. 5 is a detail transverse section on the line a;a: of Fig. 3.

Corresponding parts in the several figures are denoted by the sameletters of reference.

Referring to the drawings, A represents the main or body portion of thecabinet, which is preferably square or rectangular in form. At thebottom of this box are provided two doors, B, opening into acompartment, B, which may be subdivided and provided with shelves, (notSllOWll,) said compartment being adapted for the reception of provisionsand kitchen utensils. Above the refrigerator-compartments are providedone or more drawers, 0, adapted to contain table-linen, knives, forks,spoons, and the like, and at each side of the box, above said drawer G,is arranged a vertieal series of drawers, 1), a ledge or shelf, E, beingformed between the drawers D and the doors B.

F represents a sliding board, which when closed rests upon said ledge onshelf, and which when opened or drawn out is adapted to serve as akneading-board, sideboard, or table.

In the space between the vertical series of drawers D are arranged theflour and grocery departments G H of the cabinet, each of which isclosed by a hinged leaf, I. The compartment G is divided into twospaces, ab, by a vertical partition, 6", (shown in dotted lines, Figs. 1and 45,) one for Graham and the other for wheat flour, and has its frontwall, 0, arranged to leave a space, (I, at its lower end, whichcommunicates with both the compartments a b. Secured to the front wall,0, are a series of shelves, f, which are covered by a strip, f, having ahinged dust-proof door, f, at its lower end, which when raised allows ofthe introduction of a scoop for removing flour through the space (Z.Hinged lids h are also provided to close the compartments formed by theshelves f.

The compartment H is subdivided into upper and lower compartments It,and a hinged lid, 2, is provided, which when lowered allows a scoop tobe introduced to remove material from the upper series of compartments-The lower compartments are provided with hinged .doors in. Each door isdivided into spaces provided with hinged lids a at each upper and lowerspace, which allow for the introduction and removal of tea, coii'ee,spices, 850. The doors m, when open, show a space with shelves adaptedto receive bread, pastry, 8:0. It will thus be seen that each of thespaces or subcompartments of the main compartments G H is provided witha lid to permit the introduction and removal of different articles.

Upon the top of the box or body A is provided a case, N, adapted toreceive glassware and dishes and provided with glass or perforateddoors. A portion of the bottom of this case forms a lid, 0, to acompartment adapted for the safe keeping of silver-ware or the like.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with theaccompanying drawings, the operation of my invention will be understood.

My invention is simple in its arrangement, and may be constructed at acomparatively slight cost.

Having thus described my invention, I claim--- 1. In a kitchen-cabinet,the compartment G,
